Air Fryer Bell Peppers
When you air fry assorted bell pepper slices, you've got the beginning of an almost endless supply of meals. Here are just a few examples:
Eggs: add them to scrambled eggs or an omelet. Add some feta cheese.
Chicken and peppers: Toss them with grilled chicken, add some Parmesan and serve over rice or cauliflower rice.
Pasta: Toss with pasta, garlic, cherry tomatoes and maybe even some spinach. Top with Parmesan.
Fish topping: Warm them up and serve them over air fried salmon or tilapia. Serve with lemon and fresh herbs.
Stuff baked potato: Mix them with black beans, corn and salsa and stuff into baked potatoes. A little cheese on top completes the meal.
Make a Mediterranean bowl! Combine peppers, with chickpeas, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and lemon juice.
Use your imagination and what you have on hand. I added a green bell pepper to my mix, but the red, yellow and orange peppers often come in multi-packs and are sweet and delicious. Negligible in fat, calories and WW Points too!
3 bell peppers of different colors, seeded and cut into thick slices
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees. Place sliced peppers in a large bowl and coat with olive oil, salt and pepper. Lightly spray air fryer pan with olive oil and place peppers into pan in as close to a single layer as you can.
Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking pan halfway through cooking. Remove peppers when they are beginning to char around the edges.
